Summary: Faith's thoughts after, um, seeing Xander in The Zeppo. (The third fic in my series called Zeppositions)

*******************

Much better. That worked out some kinks.

Usually I don't like breaking in the rookies, but the kid wasn't bad. And he's got nice equipment. Real nice.

Wonder how B's gonna react when she finds out I busted her boy. She's a fool. He wanted her bad, and she went for the vamp instead. I mean, I get the Angel thing, he's more than fine. But Xander's more doable. Heh. All sweet and caring and normal. And he takes a licking and his soul's still ticking. She's not so smart after all, is she?

Even if she does wise up she'll always know I got there first. I was first, B.

I know Willow's gonna flip. She's with the wolf-boy, but she's still jonesing for him, anyone can see it. Guess I've burned that little bridge...fuck, that bridge thought it was too good for me anyway.

He wanted to stay and be all sensitive-guy, I think. Screw that. I don't want cuddly and cute. I don't want hand-holding, flowers and puppies and shit. All that love stuff just screws you up inside. It always ends badly.

People get hurt.

I might sign up for another go, though. Next time I need to blow off...something.
